Man that sucks. Quality dude with respectable skill but lost alot to the soul sucking substances. Put that war with Holyfield in a top 20 heavyweight scraps for me. Likewise what Ruddock did to him is near one of the scariest Kos you'll see. Be at peace Champ, go easy.

I think Holyfield beat him with better conditioning, it was an even fight until then. Great match and action.

I can't tell if its life imitating art, watching the winner of both fights do the Rocky Balboa jump for joy and roll of disbelief.

kEEP IT TO YOURSELF, AN OBITUARY IS NO PLACE FOR THAT KIND OF COMMENT WE ALL KNOW HIS HISTORY.

JUST DONT COMMENT.

I hate those actions too, but here just isnt the place.

Do we all know his history? I dare say not all reading this forum do, and stating this is not the place is like writing an obituary for Hitler and concentrating on his art work, vegetarianism and commission of the Volkswagon beetle.

The time for stating your thoughts is firstly when they are alive, second is when they are stone cold and laid to rest.

I deleted it because those closest to him could read these things and they are up set already and it just adds to their sorrow in their time of mourning.

His history is there for the reading in that very first post, it is in that very first link.

You want to make a thread about him in a couple of weeks with other fighters misgivings go right ahead. Again now isnt the time.

Anyone remember him sparring with Muhammad Ali ? i think he was only like 19 or 20. Muhammad Ali played with him but what a moment it must of been for M.Dokes. R.I.P to him as everyone else as already said the fight with E.Holyfield was a slugfest never to be forgotten.

Only heard about him sparring with Ali through this thread. He must have been very talented to have done that at such an early age. Seemed to have had it all. Sad story should have turned out way better than it did.
